Two Sundays ago, found a dead lamb about 5m outside the creep feeder, thought nothing of it. The next Tuesday, another dead lamb this time inside the feeder. Wondering to myself whats going on now. Checked the feeder for dirt etc inside the hopper. All the lambs are up to date with Heptavac, drenches, pour on etc field walked everyday. Filled up the hopper and put it down to bad luck. That friday afternoon not one but two dead inside it, thinking what the F is going on, too late to send to the lab. Have not used this creep all week, no dead lambs since Friday. Whatever it was has passed.
Only last night i tipped a bucket into it to watch out of curiosity, maybe im i over thinking this etc......another dead lamb this morning!!!!! 5 Dead lambs all around the one feeder apprx 35-40kg weight, gates wide open so not getting trapped, access to water. There are two feeders in the field 50m apart, but they have all died near or inside this one particular feeder.
Whats going on guys any ideas? never seen anything like it before.
